Abstract

The number of patients with traumatic brain injury in Germany is about 280,000 per year. Eighty percent of the patients hospitalized in these cases exhibit minor traumatic brain injury, while approximately 10 percent are suffering from moderate and another 10 percent from severe traumatic brain injury. The goals of rehabilitation are to help survivors become as independent as possible and to attain the best possible quality of life. For the last few years, eye tracking has been used as an assistive tool, especially as a tool for alternative communication. Within the paper we explore new patent pending approach in brain injury rehabilitation. However, eye tracking questionnaire need a full implementation into clinical studies and medical documentation systems. In this paper we present integration of cognitive test into eye tracking technology based on electronic case report form.
